The number of proteins for Covid research our team developed?
What is 39?
Where did the name coronavirus come from?
The term "corona" is derived from Latin corona, meaning "crown" or "wreath", itself a borrowing from Greek κορώνη korṓnē, "garland, wreath". The word "coronavirus" was first used in print in 1968 by an informal group of virologists in the journal Nature to designate the new family of viruses.
Can the coronavirus disease spread through food?
There is currently no evidence to suggest that food is a likely source or route of transmission of the virus and there are currently no reported cases of COVID-19 transmission through food.
People are unlikely to be infected with the virus through food.
Where was the first presumptive case of COVID in Canada confirmed?
What is Toronto?
Based on antibodies isolated from this cute animal, researchers engineered an antibody that prevented SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, from entering cells in laboratory experiments.
What is a llama?
What is the number of Covid related inhibitors that we currently sell?
What is 12?
Human coronaviruses were discovered in this decade.
What is the 1960's?
Is headache a symptom of coronavirus disease?
YES
When was the first presumptive case in Canada confirmed?
What is January 25 2020?
Llamas, camels and alpacas naturally produce quantities of small antibodies with a simpler structure, that can be turned into this.

What is "Nature"?
What are the most commons symptoms of COVID 19?
what is:
fever, dry cough, tiredness
What is the number of infected people in Canada so far?
What is 157K?
A couple vaccine candidates (Moderna and BioNTech/Fosun Pharma/Pfizer) are mRNA vaccines. What are mRNA vaccines?
First it helps to remember that DNA is the gene and RNA gives instructions for certain proteins. So an mRNA vaccine is the instructions for the SARS-CoV2 protein. Once inside the cell, the protein is made and that triggers the immune response. Just like the vector vaccines which use viruses to deliver the protein instructions, here you are delivering the instructions alone. It’s another way of getting the protein made inside of you.
What is the Covid cell line that we offer on-line? And which expression system is it in?
What is Human ACE2 Stable Cell line-CHO?
The spikes are the most distinguishing feature of coronaviruses, and are responsible for the corona- or halo-like surface. On average a coronavirus particle has this many number of surface spikes.
What is 74 surface spikes?
What are the 3 most serious symptoms of COVID19?
What si:
1. difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
2. chest pain or pressure
3. loss of speech or movement
What is the approximate number of fatalities in Canada so far?
What is approx. 10k?
(Sep 29, 2020) According to The New York times, researchers are testing this number of vaccines in clinical trials on humans.
What is 43?
We are focusing on RBD-N Protein Chimera for these 4 specific reasons:
What are:
1. High binding affinity to both the anti-s and anti-n antibodies
2. only 1 test required to capture both anti-s and anti-n antibodies
3.Stronger biding affinity than that of indivisual S or N proteins
4. Suitable for the research and development of SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection tests with HIGHER SENSITIVITY
S1 proteins are the most critical components in terms of infection. They are also the most variable components as they are responsible for host cell specificity. They possess these two major domains that serve as the receptor-binding domains :
what is:
N-terminal domain (S1-NTD) and C-terminal domain (S1-CTD)
name 4 Less common symptoms of covid 19
aches and pains
sore throat
diarrhea
conjunctivitis
headache
loss of taste or smell
a rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toes
This province has the highest number of COVID infections.
What is Quebec?
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced in late May that they intended to produce 1 billion doses of their “pandemic vaccine adjuvant” in 2021 for several vaccine collaborations they are involved in. GSK has used AS03, an adjuvant produced using shark-based squalene, in influenza vaccines before. How many sharks are predicted to be sacrificed for this vaccine?
What is 500,000?
